OT - London Olympics thread

six weeks away..



Canadian diver in hospital after hitting head on board - News1130

guess that barber shop in Quebec is going to have to be a little careful around the stitches for a while.
sounds like he'll be OK for the games though. Not sure if the 'inward' will be part of the repertoire.

I love the Olympics, but I don't have any form of television service, so I'm hoping there's a lot of stuff broadcast online, at least for the first week. I'll be home for the second week and able to watch, then I move into a new place the week after that and will have cable.

I'm amped, though. Go America!

Read a good article on Ryder Hesjedal yesterday - He stated there is no better training for the Olympics than competing in the Tour de France and basically said he wants to represent Canada at the London Olympics.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Lol. I saw D'stone's post and actually said "aww c'mon, that was a good one." Hahaha.

I was going to point out the most prolific one was Derek Roy. But then I realized *olympic*.



I don't watch the Summer Olympics with as much interest as I watch the Winter ones, although now with my old sport of BMX in it, that garners some interest. I watch the cycling events, especially velodrome. And volleyball (not just beach) and swimming. Although, I do have to watch swimming with the sound off. We get it. Michael Phelps is good. STFU.

Yes they do. May and Walsh trying to defend their gold medal.

There's nothing better than the Brazilian team with "BRA" emblazoned on their, well, bras.

I prefer court to sand in volleyball, most likely because I played court and understand it better.

Of course, the US usually dominates sand and is only mediocre in court, so...
